I believe the article exaggerates to make a point. Yes, good engineering can also be assisted with LLM-based agents, but there is a delta.

Good engineering requires that you still pay attention to the result produced by the agent(s).

Bad engineering might skip over that part.

Therefore, via Amdahl's law, LLM-based agents overall provide more acceleration to bad engineering than they do to good engineering.
